Faith Well Grounded

...and I was responding to the statement:

"I have allways wondered why Christians are so scared to study opposing views,"

As a Christian, I disprove her statement that Christians are always scared... Knowing you, I'm actually quite surprised that you would defend a generalization such as this toward any group, but that's neither here nor there.

And I realize that her response was to Anonymous, and it was something much more than an encouragement. It was a response to a particular that painted the whole. You can't really do that unless your point defines the whole by definition, say... Like claiming that all bachelors are unwed. As a part of the whole that disproves her generalization, I showed myself as an example-- not as a minority within the group.

It was a very "inflammatory" description of an entire population of people not based in fact. If you're OK with that and choose to defend it, then that's your prerogative.

Take care.
